State Street Ballet presents Cinderella on Saturday, March 23, 2024 at 7:30 PM and on Sunday, March 24, 2024 at 3 PM. A favorite fairytale comes to life with crowd-pleasing contemporary choreography and music by Prokofiev. The vivid detail is captivating, from the stepsisters dancing lessons and Cinderella’s beautiful transformation, to the eerily staged ballroom scene and tolling of the midnight hour. As the magical encounters and plot twists of Cinderella unfold on stage, the charm of classical ballet cannot be denied.
